Elgar, Holst, Vaughan Williams, Herbert Howells, Arthur Bliss, John Ireland and others added their voices to a growing repertoire, but little of that paid tribute to the loss of so many young lives, countless brass musicians among them. The musical war memorials receiving their first recorded performances here are of more recent vintage. They are framed by the music of Benjamin Britten (1913-1976), whose pacifist sympathies are enshrined in some of his finest music, the War Requiem being the most well known.\u003cp\u003eBenjamin Britten:Occasional Overture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobin Holloway:Men Marching (War Memorial No. 1)  Op. 50, no. 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLucy Pankhurst:Voices (In Memoriam)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobin Holloway:From Hills and Valleys (War Memorial No. 2)  Op. 50, no. 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn McCabe:The Maunsell Forts (Nocturne for brass band)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenjamin Britten:Diversions after Benjamin Britten and St. Edmundsbury Fanfare 1.
